I am really happy to be at the life stage i'm at now. I'm soo happy that i'm not planning a wedding or in the dating game!
Are you happy where you're at, or do you wish you could go back in time?

Yes, I really am! Things are pretty much just where I want them right now!

I'm quite content! I don't think DH and I have ever been so happy as we are now. Preparing for our LO has brought us so close, I hope we're still as happy once he's here and we never sleep!

I am so beyond excited for this life stage - happily married, baby on the way, living in a city we love. Growing up I used to always dream about this stage in my life and now that it's hear it's a bit surreal.

I don't want to go back, but I wouldn't mind fast forwarding a little! Life with a baby can be so overwhelming.

I am really happy with where we are, it is one of the few times in life I haven't felt eager to move on to the next step or wished to rewind things. I am excited to start trying for a baby this year but I am content knowing that right now isn't the right time to start so we will just keep enjoying each other.

Yes, never been better! Life with a baby (once we got past the first few stressful weeks) is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

Yes! I am LOVING where I am in my life right now. In the past I've felt like I was just biding my time before getting to the next step, but over the past 2 years, I've really learned to enjoy every current moment because these moments make up my whole life It sounds cheesy but it's true! Now DH and I have been married 3 years and we're expecting our first. We moved into our first home over the summer and we're spending our time enjoying each other before baby!

I'm a married working mom of 2. Our family is complete, my life is insanely busy and exhausting, I'm a total old fart, and I have never been happier or felt more secure or self-confident than I do today!

i am actually looking forward to when the kids are just a little bit older. it is still pretty tough with two kids that are so young. i can't wait until they can really play with each other all day and we can travel more!

I'm content. I definitely wouldn't want to go back, but am really looking forward to the future!

I so wish I was done with school and working. Luckily graduation is in less than 2 months! Still working on the job part, though

Kind of. My DH is gone all the time and it's just the baby and I 90% of the time. I am really independent and that is hard...the fact I just can't go do what I want to do anymore.

I'm very happy where I am - I'm exactly where I thought I'd be!

I'm really happy where I'm at. I feel like all the hard work I did in my 20's has paid off. I got my education, built a career, and had so much fun dating and going out all the time with friends. I feel like everything has come together and I love it!
cantaloupe / 6164 posts
Absolutely. Never been happier. I've waited my whole life to be a mommy, and it's even better than I imagined/hoped. I'm with you on being so glad to not be in the dating pool or planning a wedding - it was totally fun during that phase, but I'm glad it's passed. I'm so in love with my hubby!
hostess / papaya / 10540 posts
Yes. I'm thankful to not have to be dating and to be a SAHM and not answer to anyone. I'm also thankful that LO is such a great kid and that we are traveling a lot this year. I know once we have another next year it will stop, and I won't have 100% for my LO so I'm enjoying everything right now.
papaya / 10570 posts
I love where I am right now - I can hardly believe I'm actually here! After so many years in the dating game (I am SO over that!), the last 4 years have seen me meet the man of my dreams, get a job I really love, get married and actually buy a house (something I never thought I would be able to afford to do) - and now we have a baby on the way! I arrived here at exactly the time I thought I would - I just took a detour in the beginning and sprinted the rest!
cantaloupe / 6923 posts
I'd love to fast forward it a bit. I hate waiting for a baby. And I loved planning my wedding but hated the actual day so I wouldn't go back. Dating was fun but I'm glad I'm done with the stupid games.
cantaloupe / 6791 posts
Yes, I am completely happy!! DH and I have been married almost 2 years and I'm finally pregnant again after a very rough year last year.
We got married young, but I was never into the dating/partying thing, so it worked for me!
pomelo / 5469 posts
Yes. I'm exactly where I always thought I'd be at this age too! I have friends my age who are still dating and I admittedly find it so hard to relate to their issues, I've forgotten what it's like. Really glad to not be back there now.

I can't wait to move on from the infertile, in limbo life stage! It's hard to spin it as something else. Before this I was enjoying life as a young person but now I feel like I'm stuck in a terrible place.

What an awesome question!!
I would say that I'm on the fence....We are young and happily married. We have 3 furbabies and they are wonderful Buuuutt I really can't wait until we are TTC! I wish that I could fast forward a year or two when our debt is lower, and we are ready for a baby!
But right now I'm just trying to enjoy married life!
honeydew / 7091 posts
I'm happy where I am, but I've pretty much been happy at every stage. There are some times when I think it'd be fun to go back to my first year of college where I was so carefree and adventurous - I'd sure miss my hubby and sweet baby though!
Also, I'm trying really hard to live in the moment and enjoy every stage, but I'm definitely looking forward to having multiple kids that are old enough to interact with each other and play.

@Mrs. Bee: me too! I feel bad for wanting to speed things up...and what if it won't be any easier? Ack!
admin / watermelon / 14210 posts
@Andrea: the first year with two wasn't that hard. i think it's a little harder now esp since olive is delayed physically and is very opinionated. i hear it gets easier when they are 2 and 4 and play with each other. i hope!
grapefruit / 4187 posts
This is where I've always wanted to be my whole life, so I couldn't be happier to be where I am!
GOLD / wonderful coffee bean / 18478 posts
@Mrs. Bee: looking at my in-laws, their kids are 3 and 5 now so they travel and can do lots more things together. It's not super hard now but the baby can't participate in anything so I struggle with deciding whether or not to drag her out for no reason all day long, especially since she sleeps really well at home. So I feel like our family is splitting up a lot. Me with the baby and our older one with the daddy.

I'm happy!! It was a rough road getting here, and there are things I wish I could change, but that would probably change the outcome of where I'm at now so I'll leave it be! Can't wait to see what the future has in stock.

I feel incredibly lucky to be where I'm at. 5 years ago I was debating dropping out of college, was having trouble paying rent, and was in a bad, bad relationship.
I'm now a college graduate (working on my Master's), happily married, a homeowner, and about to be a mom! I really am shocked that I got here, and although I'm sure I will struggle with the baby phase, I couldn't be happier to be where I'm at!!

I'm very happy to be in my life stage as a mom of 2. However, like Mrs. Bee mentioned, I wouldn't mind fast forwarding a few years to when the kids are a bit older (I can't wait til they learn to play together)... and by then we can travel easier too and do more family things like camping trips, ski trips, etc. Right now I'm in the middle of the newborn phase and I'm tired!

I think a year from now I will be. This year I finish my Master's and we are buying a house. Once those thing are out of the way, I think we will be able to really settle in and just enjoy life for awhile.

I am so happy with my life now. Thankful taht I no longer have to deal with the NYC dating scene (it is horrible) and really glad to be saying goodbye to the world of renting. LO is 8.5 months now and this is so much more enjoyable and less overwhelming than those early days. Life is good.
